It’s a bit like a drug. At the start a win of $500 was a great feeling. But after a few wins like that, there’s no great feeling anymore. Then 1k feels good and so on. An unexpected multi-bagger win is a bit like getting a complimentary upgrade to first-class trans-Atlantic too young.

How did you learn to cope with the emotions?

Say you started risking $5 per trade, but currently risk $500, how was the journey like and emotions throughout?

Do you still treat $5 and $50000 the same way in terms of psychology?
